When visiting Prague it is easy to get lost in the tourist bubble that has grown over certain parts of the city in recent decades. The best way to avoid this is by taking accommodation away from these well-known areas. Look to find an apartment close to the center, but in a residential area, allowing you to experience the real Prague, as a local not a tourist. Meeting friendly locals, and saving money in local restaurants and bars, are just a couple of the benefits you get from your apartment rental. Saving money on your actual stay allows you to be more liberal with your funds on night out and on souvenirs. Having a kitchen, allows you to cook you own meal every now and then. And washing facilities, means you can have fresh clothes ready for your next leg of the journey.

Nice, comfortable and clean little apartment. Not so far away from the city centre. There is a problem with parking places but from the otherside everything was perfect. I would recommend it to my friends also.
